blog hop: Cindy Scraps

Gossamer Blue | blog hop...

Happy Monday! This month has been extremely busy around here with no time to create with pretty paper and embellishments. But I'm happy to share, once again, my layout, Father & Daughter Dance layout I created using Gossamer Blue's June kits. I mixed and matched products from both the main kit, add-ons and life pages kits. Too much goodness in each one that I loved using for my layout.

Thanks so much for stopping by during the inspirational blog hop. Have an AWESOME week!

Gossamer Blue | Inspirational Blog Hop...

Hey there friends, so glad you've made your way to my blog, via Caylee Grey blog during our monthly design team inspirational blog hop. April kits were super fun, filled with crisp bold colors and super cool pattern papers. I loved mixing it up and doing something different with my layout of my little man, Tyler.

I hand-cut the alphabet for his name from pattern paper you'll find in the main add-on kit. I also kept with my tone-on-tone element in the balance out the white space of my page foundation, by using cutouts from the digital files found in both the main and life pages kits. And I used mist, ha... that is something I rarely use on my layouts. But for this page, it's a great element and contrast with the stark white background. The style of this layout is different for me, but I love how freeing it was to create and stepping out of the box to make something totally different.

His comical expression, being himself, during a series of selfie just blew me away. We were hanging out at the beach for a little while before we made the long drive home. Soaking up as much summer sunshine as we possibly could. I just loved that he took the time to capture his fun-loving self, pure happiness right there.

Hope you were inspired and get to dive into your April kits and create something a little out of the box and different from your usual style. Next up, is the ever so talented, Diane Payne. Hop on over to her blog for more inspiration... xoxo!

Gossamer Blue | November Blog Hop...

hey everyone! welcome to another fun and inspirational blog hop, presented to you by the Gossamer Blue design team. we have lots of layouts, project life and cards to share with you using lots of goodies from the November kits.

if you're following along, you should have arrived here from Brenda Weaver blog. but no worries if you stumble, you can pick right back up beginning at GB's blog.

i am having fun creating extra projects for the blog hops lately, but at the same time, i've not been using the printables as much as i would like. so, i challenged myself to create a simple page doing just that. i used most of the circle elements from both the life pages and main kit printables. added a few stamp word accents, heart embellishments for balance and softened the journaling with vellum. a quick and easy layout all while still getting my story across.

this months color palette is so yum, lots of purples, teals, yellows... my faves! so, so good! i hope you are having fun creating with your November kits. challenge yourself to create with just a few sets of elements and see what comes of it.

now on to Diane's blog... happy creating :)

Gossamer Blue | blog hop...

hello there and welcome to Gossamer Blue's first inspiration blog hop where the GB team has come together to bring you inspiration using October kits.

if you've arrived from Brenda Weaver site, then you're in the right place! have you been having fun creating with this months kits? i know i have. i really loved the bold colors and geometric patterns in this months collection. today's inspiration layout is a little something extra i wanted to create because i loved the kit that much and because it felt great to create a little something extra all for fun!

Supplies used to create this page can be found in October's main kit, bits & pieces, main add-on kit and life pages kit.

for my page, i kept it simple and combined bold colors with simple graphic patterns, stripes and polka dots to compliment my family photo. the wood veneer frame was perfect and i used simple accents to surround it and the photo. the 'L' wood veneer anchors atop the frame to complete the sticker phrase. then i colored it with a gold metallic pen to continue the gold accents throughout the page.

i rarely use hidden journaling, so this was a fun addition to my page using like colors as the background. combined stamps from both main and life pages kits. the title treatment for the layout design is cut out from my Cameo wrapped around and framing the 8x8 design. this was fun and i love how it turned out. adding the bold yellow cardstock really balances out the overall page design perfectly.

thanks for stopping by and taking a peek into my page... hope it inspires you to play with titles. next up is Danielle Flanders... head on over to her page for more inspiration.

here's a complete list to keep you on track with the blog hop...

it's a Blog Hop | Elle's Studio + Gossamer Blue

Happy Monday everyone! if you arrived here from Becki's blog, you're in the right place.

i was super excited to find an abundance of Elle's Studio pretties in our February kits. the products so are lovely... a wonderful combination of colors and patterns put together in the Love You More collection. i was a little addicted and used 98% Elle's Studio goodies on my "We Miss You" project, but would perfectly work well with Gossamer Blue's February exclusive papers!

the foundation of my page uses a bunch of hearts in different sizes and style. used my Cameo to cut them out in an angle... love the flow. each heart is embellished with a mix of Elle's Studio pattern papers against the white background.

the above heart was created using leftover teeny paper dots, sandwiched between two hearts and vellum.

i added stitching around the seams of the background for extra texture and pops of hearts for depth. Elle's Studio wood veneer heats were added and adorned a simple touches of elements used on the page were

thanks so much for visiting... now onto Ms. Emily's blog for more inspiration :)
